Drake got the Internet shook up for a second after he released his two song EP, Scary Hours. One of the song's on the EP was the highly teased record, "God's Plan" which seems to be the current favorite out of the two. The song is already slated to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart next week and is breaking records by the day. Yesterday, it was revealed that Drake created a new record for most single streams on Spotify with "God's Plan" and now, it looks like he's made another mark on another streaming platform.

Earlier today, Beats1 host, Zane Lowe revealed on Twitter that Drake's new single "God's Plan" broke Apple Music's first day streaming records. "Breaking Records again @Drake - God’s Plan has streamed over 14M times, breaking the worldwide Apple Music first day streaming record," he wrote.

Drake's streaming numbers have at an all time high for a while now. In 2017, the rapper was announced as the most streamed rapper of the year and was followed by Future. Drake hit 6 billion streams in 2017 and was also the only artist to have streaming numbers that high during the year.

Aside from his most recent accomplishments, Drake's been working on his next album. The rapper's been sharing photos of studio sessions which only leads people to believe that he'll be dropping an album this year, hopefully.
